I thought the ACC network would be a catchall for all the games no one else wanted yet Duke's game with NC A&T on 9/7 isn't on this list. Who televises that one? Does this mean the ACC Network will only be able to have one cable feed? If so, there's going to be a lot of basketball games in November and December that won't be available for easy viewing.

ACCN will air 14 live football games over the first three weeks showcasing 11 conference teams, 10 home openers and five conference matchups. All three weeks will feature at least four games on ACCN, with Weeks 1 and 2 carrying five games. Highlighting Week 2 is a four-game slate that features Miami at North Carolina in a Coastal Division clash in primetime at 8 p.m. ET.

I'm biased, but I love Eric Wood .... he's a kid from Cincy, 2 star recruit, redshirted, then started 49 straight games at center for the Cards. He was drafted in the first round, was a stalwart for the Buffalo Bills over 9 or so seasons, before a health risk forced him into retirement.

I know he recently signed on to be a columnist for the Athletic, and this would seem to fit well too.

As an NFL center, there's no doubt he will be able to bring solid football chops to his analysis.

I think Kelsey Riggs is the first hire who isn't an ACC alum. She's been working at WCNC in Charlotte, but she says she's moving to Bristol to work at the office there. I guess they couldn't find any ACC alumni who were willing to move to Bristol...?

Understand your point but not really tuning in for the talking heads. Case in point, if Bilas is not a part of a UNC bball game, that will not stop me from watching the game. Now for panel shows, it may be an issue but if I want the information, I will get over it and wish that they get better analyst. But I understand your point.

I'm pleasantly surprised at the number of Georgia Tech hires. Wes Durham was mandatory IMO. But Roddy Jones I think everybody will find is quite well spoken, intelligent, and sneaky at getting good info you want on the sidelines. And he's good to spitball with on air if it is a blowout. They added Chris Cotter, notable for this gem live on SportsCenter:

I'm surprised MayDay hasn't made his way over, but he seems to be in Fuhrer Mickey's doghouse since his demise from College Football Final. As soon as Palmer slid in MayDay went down down down at ESPN. I'm largely ignorant on oBE media personalities. I think FSU is only not represented because Kannell already has his own show with his name in it and most of the rest of the FSU people I know are Bowden era former players which aren't the smoothest on air talkers in the world.
